Love you, Jerry Nadler, but you need to shut that shit down!

[LaMouffette]

I just saw the video on CNN of the outrageous maneuver by Republican Louie Gohmert to disrupt the hearing by rapping loudly on the table during a witness's opening remarks as a way of objecting to Nadler giving the witness more time to deliver his remarks. And he refused to stop rapping on the table after being told repeatedly by Nadler to stop.

Oh, my God! Why didn't Nadler have the sergeant-at-arms haul him out? Why?! My blood is boiling right now!

I love Jerry Nadler, but he needs to be replaced as chairman of this hearing and other high stakes hearings such as this. We need someone in charge of these meetings who can go medieval on these jerks when they pull this shit! Get Nancy Pelosi, get ANYONE who can get honest-to-God PISSED and take action!

1. K&R, if reThugs would've had a dem beat and then choked to death & left on the floor.

2. Nadler needs to have the Sgt at Arms haul Gohmert's sorry behind out of there

And any other hysterical Republicans intentionally disrupting the hearing. Childish behavior of this nature should never be tolerated. Give them an inch, they’ll take a mile, every time

3. Throw that dumb ass out!

4. Schiff should run Nadler's hearings. He knows how to be tough.

[MoonlitKnight]

5. Nadler should not be chairman

Sorry, he just doesn’t have what is needed.

6. My 2 year olds knew better

than to act like that.

7. Nadler sucks

I’m sorry but it has to be said. He has no balls.

8. I can't

I just can't watch this with Nader. I love him but he is too weak. I wish Jeffrey would have gotten the chair because Nader just can't handle these fools. If it can't be Adam S. than H. Jefferies or whatever his name is. He is the black guy I think out of NY or NJ. But if not him than the other tough ones because Nader can't do it for me. I hope Nancy notice and change gears because if it is Ted Lu, he sure would not let them bookaloo bys get away with their crap.

9. I nominate Representative Sean Maloney:

10. I am pissed that Nadler has allowed

Barr to once again say he will testify in 5 weeks just like he did before and then refused. Just fucking subpoena him and get this show on the road. I am tired of all the bs delays. Grow some balls, get the idiots on the committee kicked out if they cannot act like grownups and make Barr appear now or lose his funding.

11. gooey louie

is a big ignorant baby

[Hortensis]

12. Hmm. Imagining video of the battle of yelled orders and clicking

giving the RW creeps the victory of total disruption they sought. All displayed drearily to a dismayed nation.

I'm sorry that you are unhappy at missing that, but not at all sorry that everyone else didn't.

[dem4decades]

13. Hakeen Jerfferies may be a better answer, he won't take that shit. Nadler looked weak.

I'm sick of these Republicans getting away with this bullshit.

[LaMouffette]

14. Or how about Representative Al Green (D-TX) to replace Jerry Nadler in the chairman role?

I think he would be an excellent chairman who would not let the Republicans make a mockery of Congressional hearings.

Check out Rep. Green skewering HUD director Ben Carson during a Financial Services Committee hearing:

15. JERRY! Stop playing nice. nt

[smirkymonkey]

17. Yeah, I have to agree.

As much as I respect him, the fact that he didn't shut that bullshit down the minute it started made him look weak. Sorry. We just need to get tougher, meaner and shred their asses when they act like this.
